GAH. Got kids and us tickets to Hamilton tonight, show has just been cancelled and the run seems mostly sold out. Have been trying to get eldest tix since his 10th birthday present was disrupted by COVID, he is now 14. ☹️

I initially read this as "pressing Giles Coren to death"....
Today in 1692, one of the most legendary badasses of all times died. Giles Corey, 81, of Salem, MA refused to testify as to whether or not he was a witch. To force a confession, heavy stones were piled on him for 2 days. His last words? "More weight."

I have just heard this (or a version of it) being played in Cos. What is happening?

Awwww! Another of my large Olympic children, when less large.
Best wishes to Rhasidat in her race tonight. We are all so proud here in St Marks Senior School. Here is a photo of her competing in the CLG Primary Sports in Morton Stadium Santry. She proves that you should always have the confidence to dream big. @rhasidatadeleke @RTEsport

Possibly my favourite of all my new large Olympic children.
Daniel Wiffen uploaded this video to his YouTube channel yesterday morning showing all the free gear the Olympians get.
This is how he starts the video off 😂😂

Had to pop to the shop for something at the end of my run, which means I'm now walking along with this as if I'm about to swig it as a sports drink.

Trying to figure out the appropriate reaction to seeing someone walk past the end of your road with the name of an OSS project you worked on in its early days on their t-shirt.

After years of blaming the fat magpie who lives in our garden for eating the apples off the tree, I have sighted ANOTHER CRIMINAL.

If everyone could think nice positive thoughts that the sore tooth that I've developed with no obvious signs of damage/infection (per dentist) is "just one of those things that will go away" and not "near-invisible crack that will require a root canal".

I am ridiculously proud of this thing. Including my "dying wookee" noise (tm). Loved writing, playing, and recording it with the mighty Spud Murphy.
Posting a band photo made me remember that I was in a band so I'm gonna mention it one more time. I don't think this album deserved to sink without a trace the way it did. It was probably our best work and Penske Records did a top job. Music is funny

Songs where the chorus really doesn't live up to the verses? Currently listening to We Care A Lot by Faith No More and the verses are amazing and maaaaaan the chorus is woeful.

I am near Bronte, the Sicilian town Mr Prunty renamed himself after due to his intense devotion to Lord Nelson, EXCEPT HE PUT AN UMLAUT ON IT LIKE A METAL BAND.

In hospital waiting room, there is AN ACTUAL PRIEST beside me watching a TV show on his phone with the sound up. Hoping for some kind of heavenly smiting.
